Located just across the street from beautiful Long Lake and only minutes from downtown Alpena, this updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers everything you need for a comfortable off-season stay.

Wake up to serene lake views and crisp northern Michigan mornings while enjoying fresh coffee or espresso from the Keurig or Nespresso machines. Inside, you’ll find two warm and inviting bedrooms with plush double beds, a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, and a bathroom stocked with fresh linens—ideal for unwinding after a chilly day outdoors.

The private backyard truly shines in the off-season. Relax in the steaming hot tub, cozy up around the fire pit, or grill a hearty meal while enjoying the quiet and calm of the lakeside atmosphere.

The host provided welcome treats for us and a toy for our dog. We felt very welcome. We had all the supplies we would ever need as well as robes for using the spa. The spa was warm and ready for us, no warm up time needed which normally can take many hours. Temperature controls worked great.

The quaint place was just as described. Very well kept with nice appointments. The location was perfect for us. It has a beautiful view of the lake across the road. The weather wasn’t conducive to try the hot tub. Next time! Deborah was the PERFECT host. She answered all communications in a timely matter. And, meeting her was a pleasure. I would highly recommend.
